Flamingo Estate Pleasure Principles

Flamingo Estate Pleasure Principles by Richard Christiansen is a modern almanac for anyone who wants their days to feel more grounded, fragrant and delicious. Part field guide, part art book, it blends gardening wisdom, seasonal living and natural wellbeing into a book you’ll want to keep on the kitchen bench year-round. Organised month by month, Christiansen draws on his Australian farm roots and the gardens of Flamingo Estate to share planting and harvesting cues, garden-fresh recipes, scent explorations, lunar rituals, herbal remedies and botanical history. It’s practical without being preachy, with lush photography and clear guidance that invites you outdoors—whether you’ve got a backyard, balcony, or just a windowsill worth of green. Perfect for gardeners at any level, slow living devotees, sustainability-minded cooks, and anyone craving a gentle antidote to screen-heavy life. Bring it home and let the seasons guide what you plant, cook and savour next.
